About zc_LoadIn=dialog and zc_NextUrl=
The recent additions to the navigation features of ZOHO Creator ... using
zc_LoadIn=dialog and
zc_NextUrl= ... in the url values of the
openurl command and
links (within HTML Views) ... can significantly enhance the overall ergonomics of applications built under the ZOHO Creator platform.
So, I decided to investigate the behaviour of ZOHO Creator in response to user actions when such features were deployed.
With few exceptions, the responses are as expected ... and will add a lot of versatitlity to the way applications can be designed ... it certainly allows me to respond to Client requests for behaviour that they have observed on other platforms and expect from any application I build for them.
However, I found some unexpected responses. So, I have decided to document details of my lab application and findings ... to assist the ZOHO Creator Support Team ... and enable others to "learn by example".
The lab application consists of ...
- a Form called Contacts
- a related List View called Contacts View
- an HTML View called Popups Demo2 (where I have links that invoke the navigation features)
- a Sateless Form called Popups Demo1 (where I have openurl commands that also invoke the navigation features)
The next post documents the various scenarios from the HTML View ... and the behaviour of ZOHO Creator.
